Always dug the word "queue" you only pronounce the first letter and the rest of them are just waiting in line all tidy.

I also find deque satisfying. Pronounced deck. It is a term in computing referring to a double ended queue.

The word queue is made up of a queue of vowels. It's pronounced exactly the same as its first letter. It's beautiful.
